Microsoft Promises Peek At Future Of Windows Phone During San Francisco Summit

Last month, Microsoft announced plans to host a Windows Phone Developer Summit in San Francisco on June 20th through the 21st, and on Monday, the company opened up registration to the event so that those who were invited could RSVP.

An updated invitation was also released, revealing a few interesting things about the event. For one, those who had this added to their calendars from the first invite can free up June 21st; the event has been slashed down to a day-long event on the 20th. They also added a pretty suggestive tagline, which seems to suggest that this is going to be the event where Microsoft truly pull the curtain on Windows Phone 8: “A sneak peek of the future of Windows Phone.”

That, along with the fact that they’re referring to it as just a Windows Phone Summit (and not a developer summit) seems to indicate that they decided at some point during the last four weeks or so that this should be a full-blown Apollo announcement instead of just a mere event to spur additional developer interest in San Francisco. Jokes aside, this is actually a pretty intriguing event. And don’t worry, it will be livestreamed; just remember to head on over to Channel 9 on the 20th to watch the webcast.
